Ok I have read and read and looked and searched for a company or individual that comes highly recomended to paint my entire rifle Desert Digital Camo. When I purchased my rifle .308 20 inch with a McMillan A5 Stock, they were suppoes to dip it, but they pulled the dipping process back in house and it has been 8 months and I am really tired of waiting for them to get their crap together (plus I think I would rather go with something more durable like Cerakote finish). So I want to get it done, but done right. I wanted to get recomendations from the Hide. I am not looking for submission of "cool" paint jobs as I am looking for professionals that know how to disassemble a custom rifle and put it back together with skill and care and knows and has done "cool" paint jobs. I realize that this will cost some money as all quality work does, and I am willing to pay for a professional job in a timely fashion. So with that said anyone have any suggestions (I live in Arizona so if there is anyone local to the Phoenix area -that would be great)-- Thanks in advance.

Tom Manners does very high quality work, and he's more than helpful if you need to ask questions. Also I am not sure how local it is to you, but in Bishop California there is Three Wolves custom painting, never used them before though so couldn't comment on their work. I highly recommend Mr. Manners though heres a link to both

Re: Recomendations for rifle paint job

ya I have reached out to Todd and he is swamped. I am in contact with Phantom-- its a tough thing giving up your rifle .. but with all of your recomendations its a bit easier.
 
Re: Recomendations for rifle paint job

I have decided to go with PHANTOM FINISHING-- more expensive than the other options but I just get a good feel from the communication with him.

I will let you all know ... it will be about 8 weeks till my baby comes back. .....
